    I would think tanker if Hazmat. OTR hazmat pay only goes up up.02 or .03 over regular. Crude pays well.

    Doubles don't really increase your pay scale. Tankers let you pull more expensive product like petrol or food grade oils and liquids. Go with the tanker but still get all those endorsements.

    some tankers are doubles. you'll need all 3 endorsements.

    crude oil is hazmat, and hauls in 2 tankers.

    I suppose somewhere there's triple tanks, but I've never seen one. I sure the heck wouldn't pull one.

    I know an o/o that hauls chemicals in a tanker and he is doing quite well, no riders though and the crap he hauls will kill or maim you rather quickly
